Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital, in collaboration with the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, is offering a new and rewarding 12-month ASHP accredited Post-Graduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency program. The resident’s year is structured into a comprehensive program that emphasizes the development of direct patient care services, teaching and leadership, and quality improvement. After a month-long orientation to the department, the resident begins a series of learning experiences and other longitudinal activities designed to meet the goals and objectives of the program. Upon successful completion, graduates will be fully eligible to provide advanced pharmaceutical care in an acute care setting, obtain board certification, and pursue a fellowship or Post-Graduate Year Two (PGY2) Pharmacy Residency training.
Number of positions: 1 (International Track)
Program Purpose Statement: PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on pharmacy education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program consists of core (required) learning experiences in specific areas of acute care pharmacy and elective learning experiences that are tailored to the interests of the resident. These core and elective learning experiences will provide a basic foundation for quality clinical practice.
The resident will participate in safe, evidence-based, compassionate, and cost-effective patient care. All patient care activities are under the supervision of attending pharmacists and commensurate with the resident’s level of training as determined by the residency program. The resident will communicate effectively with supervising attending pharmacists regarding his/her patient evaluation, interpretation of diagnostic tests, and plan of care and intended therapeutic interventions. Additionally, the resident will provide oral and written consultations focused on improving patient outcomes and enhancing communication with the health care team.
The resident is required to participate in the longitudinal Teaching Certificate (PRSTL) Program. The resident is also responsible in assisting the education and training of pharmacy students during APPE rotations, and facilitating patient case and journal club discussions.
The resident is also responsible for the development, implementation, and evaluation of a research project. The objective is to develop the resident's skills in problem identification, investigation, and solution. Each project must be approved by the residency program director. The results will be presented at the Western States Conference for Pharmacy Residents, Fellows, and Preceptors or the Southwestern States Residency Conference . After completion of data collection and analysis, the resident will be responsible for drafting a manuscript suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Residents will be required to staff one weekend every 4 weeks, consisting of two 10-hour shifts. The Monday following a staffing weekend will be a 4-hour project day. The resident is also required to staff one major holiday and one minor holiday. The assigned location will be either a centralized or decentralized shift, depending on the needs of the department and rotational experiences of the resident.
The estimated stipend for this program is competitive with similar residency programs nationwide. Residents are entitled to all benefits provided to full time University of Arizona personnel (International track).
Funds may be provided to help offset travel expenses to select state and national meetings including travel/CE allowance for the Western States/Southwestern States Conference and ASHP Midyear Meeting.
